Re: [Emc-users] Wheezy for Old PCs?

[Ricardo Moscoloni]

one thing to note (as already i witness it), is that wheezy as light is on
memory resources (100mb or so for running), something screw latency in old
pc's when ubuntu 10.04lts is not.

old pcs are:
p4 on an asrock 775i65G mb
amd athlon64 not remember mb

regards
rck

The newer install iso is basically a debian wheezy-7.8, with full access 
to the debian repos to add almost anything you might need when its not 
carving parts.  Lots better than the *buntu's IMO.

You'd have to build your linuxcnc against the correct kernel.

Re: [Emc-users] Wheezy for Old PCs?

[Todd Zuercher]

I can/am.  Just exploring "update" possibilities for installed machines running 
old hardware.
I haven't even tried one of the new Wheezy images yet on the old hardware, to 
even see if it does or doesn't work.  Just looking at options for when the day 
comes that I may need to do something.  I just saw the below kernal image, and 
wanted to take it for a test spin on a VM.

Why not just use Ubuntu 10.04?

[Emc-users] Wheezy for Old PCs?

[Todd Zuercher]

I was rummaging around with synaptic, and noticed that the Linuxcnc Wheezy 
Repository has a linux-image-3.4-9-rtai-486 kernel and headers. I tried to 
install it to see how/if it might work. It booted ok but when I tried to run 
Linuxcnc it said that I must use the 686-pae kernal. The whole point of my 
experiment was to try not to use the 686-pae for some old uni-processor 
machines. What else am I missing? Is this even possible to make work? If the 
non pae kernel is useless why is it even in the repo?
